Nothing.  You have to modify the Makefile template to define a
variable to do that, so that the config-generated Makefile will
do that, if you set the variable.

Of course, the resulting /boot/kernel will not boot if you do
this, as I pointed out before.  The boot-loader is too stupid
to not load the debug symbol data section and run you out of
KVA space in the process.
